Ravens are the best team in the AFC and even they look beatable.

Boy how fast the whole "Chiefs will roll to a repeat" narrative fell apart.

[draynay]

If you're a defence purist, don't watch the Raiders @ Chiefs.

If you love two offences slugging it out like a Rocky fight though..

This was certainly true, but wow has the Raiders defense stepped it up in the 2nd half.

Let's be honest.

No one saw this coming.

Certainly thought the Raiders could win, especially at half time when they were going blow for blow and it could all come down to timing, definitely didn't expect them to shut 'em down the way they did.

Game aint over yet Raiders, gotta keep it going.

Washington lost, Eagles lost, and the Giants and Cowboys play each other.

For the 5th week in a row the NFC East will record only one win.

[Northern Goblin]

This is on Derek Carr to win the game now, even a field goal will do.

Or fewer, look on the bright side, it could be a tie.

Huge game for Brandin Cooks who had done practically nothing under O'Brien, first win for the Texans.

Washington made their QB change, and their offense was the stuff of nightmares, 108 total yards.

Washington is that guy in Madden Franchise Mode that yanks his 80 ovr starter for a signed off the streets 69 ovr specifically to tank.

Raiders go into their bye 3-2 in a game no one had them winning at the start of the year.

A lot of coaches are going to be wanting tape to see how Mahomes was kept quiet most of the second half.

Fuck...

That's Dak done.

[Grube]

Can they take away the NFCE's playoff spot now?

[Kyanion]

Can they take away the NFCE's playoff spot now?

Nope, but we can let them host a playoff game too!

[Vetali]

Holy shit that was nasty. Hope Dak is alright.

[Amsden]

Well we were probably done before this this game, but now there is now doubt. Wish Dak a speedy recovery!

[Northern Goblin]

Rivers needs to retire.

[Amsden]

Wow, Dak injury aside I really think McCarthy will be one and done as head coach.

[chrisnumbers]

I'm afraid I'll jinx them if I change my avatar.

[Amsden]

Holy shit that felt good. I know it's just the Giants and our season likely over, but fuck I needed that W!

[Pendulous]

Luckily, Michael Gallup is a beast.

[Slowpoke is a Gamer]

Wow, Dak injury aside I really think McCarthy will be one and done as head coach.

Ironically I think Dak's injury saves him unless this team goes into the Legendarily Bad zone like the Falcons (Quinn's confirmed done this week according to either Atlantic or Athletic), Washington, and the Jets.

Though boy I can see the team somehow making the playoffs with Dalton under center, and Jerry deciding Dak isn't worth the money and letting him walk after refusing to pay him the last two seasons.

[draynay]

You have to hope things go better for Dak than Smith and his 17 surgeries, but Alex missed all of 2019. If there's a chance Dak misses part or all of 2021 it will greatly impact the Cowboys and the NFL.

At least Alex Smith had contract security, who knows what awaits Dak even if he can make a full recovery.

@Logwyn Rejoice.

Falcons fire coach Dan Quin and GM Thomas Dimitroff

And there we go, house cleaning in Atlanta.

This team could never overcome 28-3. This reset was overdue.

I'd be more worried he ends up like Bridgewater than Smith.
